I appreciate that. It's such an awesome feeling to discover just how much support friends and family will gladly provide when the chips are down. Grateful doesn't begin to describe my reaction.

Thank you very much.

I was under the impression that the $40K WAS the total. It wasn't until after I got home and was billed the additional $25K (which I was not expecting) that I understood what the true cost was.

This is turning out as bad as could possibly be. I had become extremely sick and consequently my life savings has taken a tremendous hit. My health is currently stabilized, but financially I am just hanging on. This is how American health care works. I've abandoned any attempt at recovering...

Yes, of course. Is anybody else posting about U.S. airlines not flying Big 5 trophies inter-state? This seems like a big deal. I looked through the taxidermy forum but didn't see anything.

Thank you thank you thank you! I was feeling hopeless before your reply, and now it looks like I could get out of this morass. Can't tell you how much I appreciate your help!

I wanted to check in again with another update about the trophy shipment. At this point there is a huge hang-up in the States by the USDA regarding trophy importation: as of July 1st they implemented a new rule requiring more stringent procedures for clearing imports and it's creating a massive...

I got it as a gift, but when I replaced the original butt pad with the LimbSaver I didn't see any indication that it had been cut. Here's a few more butt pics.
